What the study found

Who was studied 76,192 European ancestry cases, 63,082 European ancestry controls; replicated in 46,785 European ancestry cases, 42,892 European ancestry controls, 14,068 East Asian ancestry cases, 13,104 East Asian ancestry controls.

The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.194 higher (95% confidence interval 0.14-0.25); p = 4 × 10−13.

How common The C allele had a frequency of about 1% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 10, band 10p12.2 — in an intron of SPAG6.

What each result means

C/C Two copies of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
C/T One copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. That is a smaller link than two copies.
T/T No copy of the version the research linked to Breast cancer. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs72814839

What is rs72814839?

rs72814839 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SPAG6 gene. Published research associates it with breast cancer. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

What conditions is rs72814839 linked to?

On MyGeneLog this position is linked to Breast Cancer. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.

Does having rs72814839 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs72814839 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Nature 2017, PMID:29059683. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
